Wouldn’t it make more sense to just add those files to the https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/devel/i16gcc package? But, I don’t use it. So, maybe that would be an issue or confusing to users. > >> On Wed, Apr 10, 2024 at 10:52 AM Jim Hall <jh...@freedos.org> wrote: >> >> Based on my other email about getting IA-16 GCC to work on T2404 >> without installing DJGPP, I propose adding a new package in T2405 >> called I16ENV that just has two files in it: >> >> /devel/i16gnu/djgpp.env >> /devel/i16gnu/setenv.bat >> >> The DJGPP.ENV file contains just: >> >> DJDIR= >> >> And the SETENV.BAT file sets the PATH and points the DJGPP environment >> variable to the DJGPP.ENV file, like this: >> >> @ECHO OFF >> PATH %PATH%;C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\BIN >> SET DJGPP=C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\DJGPP.ENV >> >> >> Since it gets installed in the IA-16 GCC directory, it shouldn't get >> confused with the DJGPP stuff.
